UK CAA PPL issued 1993
In addition to a current UK CAA Part-FCL licence, I still have a "brown" PPL, initially issued in 1993. Does that grant any extra privileges that the Part-FCL licence doesn't cover (albeit the brown licence doesn't currently have any valid Certificates of Experience)?
Your 'brown' licence together with a valid certificate of validation ( which is also associated with your Part-FCL licence), medical certificate; self declaration or class 2 etc is valid. The CAA, however, under pressure to comply with the EASA demands restricted the ICAO compliant UK PPL licence to UK airspace only. They are yet to reverse that.
The UK PPL is fully ICAO compliant and a valid IMC/IR and night rating may also be flown with the UK PPL. There are no added benefits but do not destroy it unless you can see into the future.

Your National licence will also include a SLMG rating which can be activated by a GST, no requirement for CAA action. There is one drawback to the 93 document is that it doesn't contain an ELP assessment required since 2008. All current licence were replaced automatically, but if you didn't have a current medical certificate at that time yours would not have been updated. A 93 licence will also say Group A and not SEP. Initially Examiners signed Group A holders up as SEP but they might frown upon that now.

Thank you for your replies Gents, much appreciated that you took the time to reply.
Small typo on my part, the “brown” PPL was issued in 1983, not 1993. I presume that has no impact.
Cheers.

I can't remember the years but there are some PPL licenses issued in that period that had an expiry date and were not issued for life.
